Hehe, glad this one works out for you! It'll probably stick around for a while unless I have the sudden inspiration for a new HA. (I have this thing about matching my post color to my HA outfit. >>; ) I have the same problem with certain colors with my custom CSS, too (pink is the most frequent offender), I set mine up with a lot of grays as the backgrounds and it just doesn't play as well with all colors. I tend to work on the presumption, though, that the average user doesn't bother with changing up the background colors (or even much custom CSS at all), so I try to choose mid-way colors that I can still see and would show up well on standard white (even if I can't stand white backgrounds myself, serious headache material there).

Oh! I've seen that before, I did consider using it, actually, but at this point I've put so much work into customizing my current custom CSS I'm not sure I'll ever be able to part with it. (It's... old and requires upkeep whenever anything big is altered with the site's layout; it was once far more someone else's code than my own but I've adapted it so many times now it's probably about half original and half my own fixes and customization, nothing quite like adoring a layout so much you give yourself a crash course in CSS just to keep it, haha~)
